Hello Everyone, I love the Penguin UK edition of the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. (Their cover design is always marvelous.) The story was originally written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, one of my all time favorite authors.

Meanwhile, I wanted to tell you that I put together an Amazon list of some of the books you’re reading. Thank you all for your comments on the “Got Books?” post. You inspire me!

Excellent list!I’d love to start reading again, perhaps this summer.LOVE ‘the Fountainhead’ (and not just because I’m in architecture…), but also LOVED her other novels, especially ‘Atlas Shrugged’. Maybe I’ll start by re-reading that one!

A really good book -well actually it’s a biography- is Georgiana: The Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman. The book was just made into a movie starring Kiera Knightley, but the book is amazing! the author makes you feel like you’re back in the middle of the 18th century, and you’re really inside this young girl’s head, who was thrown into British society by becoming duchess of Devonshire at 16 and ended up living a life of quiet desperation liberated by only a couple people.
